Czernowitzers...
At the age of eleven or twelve, my late father Julius Hauster (1912-2001) made an attept to run away from home. Starting Bräuhausgasse in Czernowitz, past the Jewish Cemetery and the Horecza Forest, he reached the Pruth River, as he stated in his memoirs. He intended to trek down the Pruth to Galați and Constanţa in order to sign up for a matitime sailing vessel. The plan failed, a farmer picked him up after a few miles and brought him back to his parents next day. I'm taking the same route, but the other way round, nine decades later and by motorcycle. No farmer, no policeman, no border guard obstructed my plan so far and therefore please follow me up the Pruth River to Iași:

That was the 8th stage of my, please "stay tuned" for the 9th one, which ends in Bukovina!
